Homemade Pumpkin Pie Spice

Pumpkin Pie Spice is synonymous with the flavor of autumn and is a taste so well associated with Thanksgiving. It imparts that special favor and aroma to pies, soups, stews, roasts and salad toppings. Most recipes call for just a bit of this spice and it is comprised of spices that you probably have in your spice cabinet, anyways. So, why buy a new bottle if you can easily make just what you need?

This recipe can be used to prepare your own homemade pumpkin pie spice. It is a simple blend of cinnamon, nutmeg, ginger and ground cloves or allspice that can be easily adjusted to your taste and recipe.

NOTES

Play with the proportions to suit your own taste.

Add a unique label to your pumpkin pie spice jar. Using glue stick, I adhered a custom simpletowow.com label to an empty spice jar. If you would like to print your own simpletowow spice jar label, feel free print out this pumpkin-pie-spice-label The paper label also allows you to jot down the date when you prepared the mix so that you can keep your pantry fresh and organized.
